**Please don’t forget the users who’ve supported Cursor from the start. I’ve been subscribing since the early days, and I don’t think longtime customers should be forced to use Max Mode just to access the latest frontier models. The much higher request cost makes the experience significantly worse. If this doesn’t change, I’ll likely switch to subscribing directly to ChatGPT or Claude instead.**
